Welcome to the Online Books sections of eHistory. These books, gathered here in a digital format, will be fully searchable and free to the public. Many of these are older works, valuable in and of themselves for what they say about the period in which they were written as much as the topic they are covering. Like all secondary sources, the contents should be taken in context and not on face value as they often represent the views of the author, shaped by the period in which they were written, and do no always constitute a scholarly account of the events.

We currently have 12 titles converted to the new eHistory format:

• The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (aka 'the Official Records' or 'O.R.')


• The Chronicles of Froissart (Froissart)
